帕西塔·阿巴德(Pacita Abad),菲律宾裔美国人,1946-2004年。
在她三十多年的职业生涯中,巡回画家帕西塔·阿巴德(Pacita Aad)以多姿多彩的绘画、混合媒体拼贴而闻名。在华盛顿特区和纽约短暂学习绘画之后,她周游了世界80多个国家。阿巴德在亚洲、非洲和加勒比海的旅行和经历对她的艺术作品产生了重大影响,她的题材很大程度上来自于她的个人经历。在20世纪70年代和80年代,受本·沙恩(Ben Shahn)等社会现实主义画家的影响,她创作了关于难民、农村村民和城市街头场景的具象政治和社会纪录片绘画,后来又创作了关于部落面具的混合媒体绘画。
阿巴德的风格不断变化,因为她尝试在各种各样的材料上绘画,包括版画、纸浆纸、树皮布、陶瓷、金属和玻璃。在她职业生涯的最后20年里,她在她的三维“龙舌兰”绘画中探索抽象。这些雕塑彩绘作品包括手工缝制的布料和装饰品,融合了传统图案、布料、贝壳、纽扣和镜子。她的最后一件重要作品是新加坡的一座55米长的人行天桥,上面全是五颜六色的圆圈图案,就在她去世前几个月完工,享年58岁。
